Some style suggestions
General suggestions
- Edit with care and delete pages almost never, but for a Wiki to keep itself up-to-date, we all must edit it. And we must encourage new students and users to engage the Wiki.
- Use 14-point font.
- Normal font family is fine.
- Insert useful graphics.
- Keep them a reasonable size.
- Edit them with big red thick circles (or other bold heavy circles) for the part of a graphic that is emphasized. Like

- To add the graphic above, I used the "Images and files" tab on the right sidebar and uploaded the image. Then I drug it over to where I wanted it. Then I selected it and resized it.
- Use folders and subfolders for organization. At this point, the organization is what was left over, likely we will try to change it.
- For commands you type, it is good if they are also 14-point font, dark blue, and pre-formatted, like <<<CAnnot do this!! pre-formatted!!
./simfactory/bin/sim create-run helloworld --parfile arrangements/CactusExamples/HelloWorld/par/HelloWorld.par
Folder Organization
Some current ideas on folder organization:
- Pull up the Pages & Files tab in a new window or tab to see the current set of folders, subfolders, etc.
- Use the Administration folder for just that, like this Style Guide page is there, other sorts of organization pages.
- Place pages and folders in the Archive folder before deleting them. If someone screams about it, sort it out into the newer folder scheme.
